Concurrent Enrollment gives Alta High School students the opportunity to earn college credit while completing their high school graduation requirements. Alta is proud to partner with Salt Lake Community College as our primary concurrent enrollment institution, while also offering select courses through Utah State University, Utah Valley University, Utah Tech University, and Weber State University.
One exciting opportunity available to Alta students is the ability to complete all of the courses required to earn the Salt Lake Community College General Education Certificate of Completion while still in high school. This allows students to finish many, or even all, of their general education requirements before graduating, saving both time and money. These credits and the General Education Certificate transfer to any public college or university in Utah.
Explore our course offerings, registration information, important deadlines, and helpful resources to make the most of your concurrent enrollment experience.
